Life’s better when you’re pain-free, strong, flexible and energised
That’s why we provide a range of osteopathy and healthcare services that aim to proactively support and maintain your overall body health & wellbeing. By treating imbalances and weaknesses at their root cause.
Allowing your body to move freer and giving you more energy to enjoy life to the fullest.
We work with people from all stages of life to reduce pain, increase musculoskeletal flexibility and strength, and improve posture so you can live your best life.
We believe the body is one of the greatest healers and each of our treatments are directed at treating your body to help bring about postural alignment, optimal blood flow and a healthy nervous system. This gives your body the best environment to heal itself.
What to expect during your first visit
During your initial consult, we take the time to fully understand your health requirements. Once we have made a diagnosis, our team creates individualised treatment plans, tailored to your health problem or requirements. If we believe the treatment is outside of our range of expertise, we will refer you to other healthcare specialists.
When prescribing a treatment plan, we undertake holistic assessments of your symptoms and then apply results-based treatments. In doing so, we aim to address the underlying root cause of your pain or discomfort — not just surface-level symptoms.
General Health & Wellbeing Services
Aromatherapy massage
Massage and aromatherapy, as with many other natural therapies, can be an easy and effective option to enhance wellbeing and help support yourself and your family through the ups and downs of life. Stress is unavoidable in life, but we can counteract some of the effects of stress with nurturing touch and simply allowing ourselves the ‘time out’ a massage provides. So often it’s the mental and emotional strain we feel that affects our physical health and vice versa.
Nutrition
Clara works with her clients in an individualised client centred manner and works to uncover and treat the underlying causes of their current health issues.
She also has a special interest in using therapeutic carbohydrate restricted diets (low carb, LCHF and keto) to prevent and control chronic conditions that are driven by insulin resistance like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and PCOS.
